I purchased this product w/o checking the reviews and it was a mistake. Contrary to what a positive review has written, this battery does not fit into the unit as advertised. I had to insert small spacers to keep it in place so that the battery’s contacts worked. The battery itself does not maintain a charge for very long at all. The assertion that this product fits the Jukebox Zen Extra is deceptive, and the product itself is sub par.

Although my original Nomad battery had been dead for a couple years, I was reluctant to buy the replacement based on the reviews that it was not quite the right fit. I finally bought a pair, figuring that for $10 apiece, there wasn’t much to lose. I was very pleased to find that the battery was indeed a perfect fit for my 30GB Nomad. It has basically given my Nomad new life. Even though one of my coworkers refers to it as my “Fred Flinstone MP3 player” (yes, it’s a bit on the bulky side), it once again does what a MP3 player is supposed to do–play music on the go. I have about 120 CDs on this thing and that still only fills about 1/3 of its capacity. Now I can once again use it without keeping it plugged in.

I have a 40G Zen Xtra and purchased this battery to replace my tired old battery. The replacement doesn’t fit snuggly — it is smaller in size than the original battery. The battery required a shim be made for it — without it, the battery couldn’t make contact so it couldn’t be charged and used.

The battery seems to work ok (I’ve only had it for a few days) but it is not a perfect replacement for my MP3 player.

I ordered two of these batteries for my old Zen Xtra. As others have said, this battery is a fraction smaller than the original one and it will require a simple shim of some sort. One could use a toothpick, a piece of plastic, or some strips of electrical tape attached to the end of the battery. It’s not really a big deal and otherwise these batteries work fine. Considering that these Zen players are dinasaurs age-wise we’re lucky to be able to find batteries at such a low price. Actually my biggest complaint is the shipping costs from this company. There is a fixed shipping rate per item which turned out to be a ridiculous amount for the two small batteries I ordered. So the advertised price of this company’s products is a bit of a farce but overall I was still happy to get the batteries.
